My wife and I visited wonderful Strasbourg for a few days and saw a blogger recommend this place. So glad we found it. Not only is the restaurant beautiful, in an old wine cellar, but we had an amazing meal as well. My wife had the chicken and I had the pork cheeks. She said it was her favorite meal while in France. The service was friendly and supportive as we navigated the Alcacian menu. Highly recommend for anyone wanting the local food experience. read more

I found this place on social media and was initially apprehensive that it would be both pricey and just a spot for vibes, since Caveau Gurtlerhoft is a cellar from the 14th century. However, we were pleasantly surprised that it was not only reasonably priced, but the food was delicious too! What we got: - Tarte Flambée du Gurtlerhoft: (Cervelas, Fines Herbes et Emmental) €11,00 The taste flambé was crispy, cheesy, salty, savory, and really delicious! - Poêlées De Roesti Bûcheronne (Lard, Oeuf, Crème Fraîché, Emmental, Lardons) €17,80: This was really good! It was cheesy, the egg was perfectly cooked, the bacon added was generous and added the perfect amount of saltiness to the dish. It is definitely a hearty and filling dish, but you will most likely be doing some walking around in Strasbourg, so it evens out, right? lol. We had leftovers of both of our dishes and even when we heated them up later, they were both still delicious! The service was great in my opinion. The host was efficient and got us seated right away. I did have an RSVP, but they were not too busy when I showed up for lunch. The servers did check in on us here and there, but not excessively so, which I appreciated. read more

Since we are here during Christmas Market time I made sure to book way ahead to ensure a table. During Christmas market you can only book until 645pm. After that it is walk ins only. The interior space is very warm and rustic and it is literally in a cave, at least it looks like that. Either way it's beautiful. The waitstaff are great. Very friendly and very helpful. We started with drinks, then for appetizer we split at mushrooms in a cream sauce in a puff pastry over a salad. Excellent. Then the main course. Chicken cooked in a Riesling cream sauce and Pork cheeks braised in Pinot Noir. Side bowl of spaezelle. Everything they put in front of us was absolutely delicious. The meats were so very tender that they melted in your mouth. This place in the shadow of the Cathedral is a MUST GO. read more

What an amazing Alsatian dining experience! The hosts were great, and they were able to take our orders and provide recommendations in English, which we appreciated! The food was some of the best we've had so far on our trip, and while the prices weren't extremely cheap, they were a good deal for the quantity and quality of food and drink we had that night. Definitely give them a try if you're looking for food Alsatian cuisine in the area!! read more

First I'll start with location - right across the street from the Notre Dame cathedral? Very hard to beat. 2nd, it's underground - feels pretty cool down there (but it's nice and warm in the winter!) Service was outstanding, and their English is far better than my limited French. I ordered the Gurtlerhoft menu, and selected the escargot (good, but not as garlicy as I'm used to) and the 6-meat sourkraut (good but benefitted from a little salt). I also ordered a half of the traditional Flammekueche (I wanted to experience what the region is known for) and that was excellent. Drinks were reasonably priced, and the chocolate mousse was delicious (how could it not be?) read more

What is not to love? Great food, great beer and wine, in the center of old town, directly across from the Cathedral, fast and courteous and excellent service, comfortable seating, unique and authentic "cave" setting. We had a Choucroute 6 platter (€22.80) (loads of meat and sauerkraut, plenty to share) and Poulet Au Riesling (€19.50) (get one for yourself, you will not be willingly share a single drop of the mushroom/Riesling sauce. Trust me.) I found Caveau Gurtlerhoft a delicious and different experience and an excellent value. A well deserved Five Stars! read more

Restaurant located across from the cathedral. Located underground, rustic cave setting very nice and romantic. Ordered the Escargot and the traditional Flammkuchen.

The food was wonderful and they worked hard to help us find a table. The restaurant was beautiful and in a perfect location. The only reason they received a 4 rather than a 5 is that the service today was slow to non-existent. We wanted more wine with our meal but never saw a server after we placed our order. The food was wonderful. read more

Caveau Gurtlerhoft has one of the most romantic, cozy settings for a restaurant, located in an underground cave right outside the Strasbourg Cathedral. Everything about the setting and the plating of the food is so picturesque, and the dishes themselves were delicious too! We started with a half order of the Flammekueche, a flatbread spread with onion, quark, cream, and topped with smoked bacon, mushrooms, and melted cheese. The flatbread developed a nice crisp in the oven, and the savory and sour topping was simply a great complement. Think of this as a very unique, umami take on a pizza! For our main course, we ordered the backeoffe, a traditional Alsatian stew made with chunks of lamb, beef, and pork cooked in white wine with carrots and sliced potatoes. But of all of the ingredients in the stew, the potatoes were definitely the most prominent and came in the largest quantity. The stew was warming and delicious, and the sauerkraut we ordered on the side made for a nice complement (though it was a bit on the salty side). Overall, a great traditional restaurant in a beautiful setting. The value and service you'll find here are excellent, though I found some of the flavors of the dishes either a bit muddled or overly seasoned. However, it's definitely worth a try if traditional Alsatian dishes are the order of the night! read more

Descending into the "cave" for an exquisite meal is an experience that will stand out in my memories for France! Our server was engaging (and handsome) and helped us on our selections....offering insight we appreciated Delicious wine and my seafood entry in this cozy environment all contributed to a very memorable night read more

surprisingly good as a place right in the middle of hottest tourism place. It was fun to walk down and enter the cave underground. The lobby looked very interesting with up and down levels. The menu is half French and half German. We have tried Escargot which has no shells. It was oily and not really full of flavors in my opionion. Liked cheesy flatbread which was like half sheet size with great cheese. Cheeks of pork was very tender with shallot and radish together. Just a little bit overly seasoned. It comes with a grilled pasta piece which was great. Named Roasted pork knuckle was actually braised in a ceramic pot. It was really cooked to soft and tender and great flavor. my favorite on this table. Wine choices are great. We all loved Riesling and Pinot Noir. Services were great. A place definitely will come back in the future. read more

First time having Alsatian food and this place did not disappoint. Old rustic cave like decor with traditional Alsatian dishes and wines. WOW. Everything was amazing! The pork knuckle braised in beer is fall off the bone tender and has so much flavor. I did not expect it to be so good! The potato pancake with with goat cheese and bacon was crispy and soft at the same time and also packed with flavor. To finish we had the kouglof glace. It was very unique and had the perfect balance of sweet and tart, soft and crunchy. If I ever come back to Strasbourg this is the first place I'm headed to!!! read more

The food was enjoyable. The menu was expensive, the atmosphere was very pleasant, the staff was very busy.

Delicious food with a warm, inviting atmosphere! Happened upon this place while visiting in nearby Kaiserslautern. Were looking for a sophisticated bite and we found it here. Polite and friendly staff. They did not seem bothered a bit by the fact that we spoke English. We really enjoyed the underground experience and cave-style interior. The menu boasts an assortment of French and German items with a breakdown in case you are unfamiliar with the cuisine.The food came out quickly and was taken up just the same. Great wines and desserts. We ordered creme brulee and flan to end the night...amazing!!! read more

This restaurant is in a cave underground and everything about the experience feels like a glimpse of history. We loved our food but I would certainly classify it as German, not French. This region has a long history of German/French ownership but the food leans toward German, and the best home made flavors also! It was a rainy Wednesday evening, around 7pm, and we came across this lovely place. Just what we were looking for: local flavors! They do not speak much English but they do have an English menu, just be sure what you order matches up with the French menu. My husband's broken French luckily helped clarify what we wanted to order. The food was fresh and very flavorful. I was very impressed with the unique atmosphere as well as the authentic Alsace regional food. The restaurant is difficult to see but look for it, right next to the other restaurants in the plaza. If I am ever in the area again this will be my first choice. When we left around 8:30pm all the seats were taken, even in the rain people love this place. read more

This place has it down when it comes to groups. I imagine it must suck if you come as a normal table on a night with a lot of group reservations, because within 20 minutes of my study abroad group of 25, an even bigger group came in, and then an even louder group. (They were German, I was amazed it wasn't us annoying Americans.) They started us off with a huge plate of shredded cabbage and carrots. I ate about a quarter of it, because I was excited about the main part of the meal. They made me fall in love with tarte flambée, also easy considering they would just bring another tarte to the table when the last one was finished. I had no shame. I could have eaten one all by myself, oh wait...I did that somewhere else the next day. To top everything off, they gave us ice cream cake. If I ever came back to Strasbourg, I would come back here. read more

Only French reviews. Well, here one in English. We recently moved to Germany and we're quite close to France. I got us tix to Strasbourg but the weather sucked. The tix were about to expire so we decided to go this past weekend. I made reservations online. No response. So after a few glasses of wine I called France. Yes, tout est bien! We loved our long lunch. Flammekuche, pate de foie gras, and even rognons de veau. read more

To me things get magical when I descend into an ancient (at least 600 years old) cellar that has been beautifully updated by a savvy designer in all the parts that count: lighting, seating...ambiance. As soon as we had descended we were warmly welcomed into Caveau Gurtlerhoft by a woman who was smooth and gracious. Smooth and gracious was all of our service. The Gewurtzeminer was complex and just the better side of too sweet, not sweet but there. Our chicken with cream sauce and spaetzle was served elegantly and practically in little iron hot containers to keep it warm. The salad was fresh with frisée and baby lettuce and a heavenly dressing that was lighter than mayonnaise and delicately flavorful. I regret being too full for dessert but I'm sure it would be wonderful just as the rest was. This restaurant sets the bar high for the rest. read more

Californian's travel review: It's dining among demons in a cave (or "hell" if you can understand the historical significance of this old restaurant) near the cathedral, and feasting on savory and sweet (tarte flambée) Alsatian pizza. (I spent two summers in Strasbourg and this was one of my favorite little spots.) read more

Came here based off Yelp's recommendation and I was not disappointed. The restaurant is kind of hidden- you have to walk downstairs. The food was very good- Alsatian cuisine. I ordered the cordon bleu and my boyfriend ordered a pot roast/vegetable dish that was cooked in white wine. Both were very good. I enjoyed that they put their own twist on classic dishes. My cordon bleu was served with mushrooms and gravy. Kind of like schnitzel! So good! I would return if I ever came back to Strasbourg. read more

Based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor I booked a table here. I'm glad I booked because the restaurant was complet (full) when we arrived with our reservation. The atmosphere in the cave/cellar was nice. Service was spotty with our harried server although we were served very quickly. Too fast really for a French restaurant. I was wondering if they served fast just to turn the tablesnot sure but I don't think so. Most tables were seated with French folks although a few were seated with us Americans. It's a mixture of locals and tourists so I don't think the restaurant was catering to the normal American mentality of get in/out as fast as possible. Food was average to good; nothing more. We both opted for the Alsatian menu (starter, main, and dessert). We both started with onion tart, my wife had salmon choucrutte while I had chicken in riesling sauce, and tiramisu for dessert. The onion tart was okay. We've had much better. My wife's salmon was very fishy although the choucrutte (sauerkraut) was good. My chicken and spaetzle were both very good as was the tiramisu dessert. Based on the previous reviews I'd expected better although my meal was very good except for the onion tart and cheap at EUR 20.80 per person for three courses. With the number of restaurants in Strasbourg, I would not return here. I'm certain there are much better, off-the-beaten-path, places. For convenience near the cathedral it's a decent enough place. But there is better food out there. read more

Ambiance: Lovely, romantic, candlelight, inside of a cave, rock walls. Food: I am not sure all the food is phenomenal but my dishes certainly were. I did the Alsatian menu. Started with the onion pie. GET THE ONION PIE. I am still thinking about that onion pie, wish I could have had a larger slice of it. YUM. Then I chose the poulet au riesling with spatzle maison. They describe a spatzle (for those who do not know, like myself) as a noodle, I think it was more like a thin, pan fried dumpling and absolutely delicious to soak up that amazing creamy riesling sauce. Ok now, here me out, in the hiearchy of meats, chicken is pretty low on the totem pole. I am not even sure why I ordered a chicken dish since I rarely ever order chicken. However, I did and have absolutely no regrets. This is one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had hands down. read more

Nice decor and atmosphere, despite being located in a very touristy area. Highly recommend their pork cheek in Pinot noir sauce with homemade spaetzle! Bread is delicious and very fresh. A great place, but go early because it gets packed at peak times. read more

We were visiting Strasbourg and on a quest for authentic Alsatian food and we were not disappointed. My fiancé got coq au Riesling and loved it. I got the Choucroute with 8 kinds of meat. We both died and went to heaven. The sauerkraut was the best I've ever had. Awesome space in an old underground wine cellar. A+ for ambiance. A+ for food. A- for service. read more

Oh my. So good. We were a table of two but ordered for four because French food... we started with tarte flambé. Super good. I had the chicken with Riesling sauce. So amazing. The sauce (and I'm sure this is French blasphemy but bear with me) tasted something like sauce made from Campbell cream of chicken soup but in the best possible way. The spaetlze on the side was delicious as well. Craving another order of it as I'm typing this. Cute interior too - unique. read more

Bad service. We came because they advertised special lunch menu (8 euros) but when seated and we asked for it, the waitress just said no there's no lunch menu in a very rude tone as if we bothered her. Note that I did see a pile of the special menu by the reception desk but we were on vacation so we didn't want to argue with her. Then, for some reason, we are the only table without bread, and she never came to ask us if everything's fine or how was our meal. Even though food was okay, I didn't enjoy the experience. read more
